# Solitaire Story vs Solitaire Uni

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solitaire Story at 61% against Solitaire Uni's 25%. Solitaire Story also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 816). Solitaire Uni's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire Story sells 30 one-off in-app purchases and Solitaire Uni sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solitaire Story holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire Story has 5.1K ratings behind it against 816, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Solitaire Story's written reviews are positive against 25% of Solitaire Uni's.

Solitaire Story ships an update fortnightly, Solitaire Uni every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
